Kali has appeared serendipitously in my life since I was a teenager through a variety of channels, including images, books, people, and altered state of consciousness experiences. I knew in my heart that there was meaning and purpose to this pull I had to her. However, I was living on the East Coast where my surroundings and relationships did not validate or help me understand her presence in my life, causing me to wonder whether she was just a figment of my imagination.

Moving to the San Francisco Bay Area and discovering SHARANYA and, subsequently, meeting other people with a similar connection with Kali was greatly affirming. Through SHARANYA I have learned volumes about a presence in my life that, prior, was a mystery. The opportunity to develop a deeper relationship with Kali within the spiritual community of SHARANYA has been empowering, healing, enlightening, and rewarding.
